This is the trouser press made in England by John Corby, Ltd., inventor of the original pants presser and supplier of fine hotels. The 250-watt heating pad quickly removes wrinkles and sharpens creases in both pant legs at once. Unlike repeated ironing, the trouser press will not impart a surface sheen on garments and the built-in thermostatic control prevents scorched fabrics. The stretcher bar system pulls trousers taut to eliminate the need to straighten fabric before pressing and it removes stubborn back-of-the knee wrinkles that are left behind by traditional irons. The timer has 15-, 30-, or 45-minute settings for light to heavy fabrics and the LED display indicates time elapsed. More than a press, the unit has an integrated contoured suit coat hanger, a tray that holds cuff links or a money clip, and a retractable tie bar. 44" L x 15 1/2" W x 13" D. (20 lbs.)

This is an exceptional product. We purchased our first Corby about 12 years ago from Hammacher Schlemmer. We have recently moved and realized that the heating element was beginning to fade and the inside cover was very worn. After 12 years of constant daily use, it is not surprising that it needs to be replaced. Basically whatever pants my husband or I have worn during the day, wool, cotton, etc. go directly into the Corby and onto a hanger. They look as if they have just come back from the dry cleaners. In addition, pants fresh out of the wash often go into the Corby. Because we were in the process of moving and stayed with friends for a number of weeks, I waited to order a new one. But as soon as we were in our new house, I placed the order. My husband was both surprised and thrilled. This is one of those appliances that you don't know what you are missing until you have tried it. I can't imagine being disappointed with your purchase.

We had another brand and when it wore out, we ordered the Corby. So far, we are very pleased with the Corby because it seems to have more heat and having the choice between 15, 30, and 45 minutes is most helpful. Our other presser did last about twenty years, so I hope this one has a long a life. Having a presser has saved us a great deal of dry cleaning expense over the years.

I use the pants press after every wearing of my linen pants. It does a great job of pressing them; I even turn the pants around and place the upper portion into the press as well, when the lower portion has finished. I have found it also works on the sleeves of my linen jackets.

My main complaint is that the first two that were shipped to me were defective; they just did not work at all. So we had to assemble them (not difficult, but still) try them in a few sockets to discover it was really their fault, not ours, and then dissassemble them, and repackage them for shipment back. TWICE.

So if you are willing to risk all the above, the product, when it works, is quite good.

Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hammacher Schlemmer Response: We apologize for your experience with this product and appreciate your patience with us. We are glad to hear you are enjoying your working unit!

This replaced a previous Colby trouser presser that we had used for over 20 years and that finally wore out from frequent use (the heating pad became wrinkled and imparted the wrinkles onto the pressed trousers). The present model is essentially the same as the older model but with slightly more modern electronic controls. We keep it in our shared closet and use it to press trousers and pants. It was delivered quickly, was packed securely without any damage and took only a few minutes to set up. We can recommend it without reservation for those who want to have neatly pressed trousers without going to the dry cleaners or bringing out an ironing board and iron.
